Paxton city council takes no vote on union contract

PAXTON – After more than three and a half hours of discussion in closed session, the Paxton City Council is still not prepared to vote on a proposed contract with its newly unionized city workers. Instead, aldermen voted to adjourn the special meeting to July 7 at 7 p.m. to continue talking about the proposed contract with Teamsters Local 26.

City attorney Bob Martensen has been negotiating with the union on the city's behalf.
